I actually put a layer of Minwax Wood Stain on the blade already, thinking it would provide some protection. Does the Wood Stain not provide any protection at all? I was planning on then adding a layer of polyutherane on top of the Wood Stain. Is there anything I can use to cause the already...

Will the CNT switchover to using Super VIS? More power and more feeling.

I read that wood stain in kitchen and housing is used to provide some level of protection, so I thought that it does provide some protection and not just color.

What is the purpose of making the blade water proof? Water doesnt typically land onto the blade surface. My main goal is that I noticed some of my blades splintering when I peel off rubber. I want to protect the surface from splintering.

When you seal a blade, is there a specific sealer that you need to use? What is the difference of sealing a blade with wood stain vs polyutherane vs varnish?

I tested my friend's Arthur Asia and Arthur Europe rubber. For a $30, they work as a cheaper alternative to ESN. They are really not like Chinese rubbers, they have the ESN-style catapult. The "carbo" sponge is hard and bouncy. I found they were quite fast. I really think more people should...

https://www.amazon.com/Aurora-Pips-Tennis-Rubber-Sponge/dp/B07W55FJVS Looking for a cheap, fast, bouncy backhand rubber like AK47. Anybody tried this Aurora Max Pro? How is the speed compared to AK47?

Interesting they have the O7 as the fastest rubber. Wonder why I dont see more people using O7

Honestly I think you should. I bought a Target 90 rubber just because I thought the bright red sponge looks really nice on the black topsheet. The rubber itself is slow and grippy, a bit like a H3 lite, but everytime I play it makes me feel great because of the cool look of the rubber.

The Pink sponge really looks awesome though

I also saw this rubber on Aliexpress and was curious how it is. It might just be a typical Chinese rubber with lots of tuner in it.

You must have a very sharp scalpel. I tried cutting rubber with a razor I had around the house, but it wouldnt cut through the rubber. So I just went back to cutting with scissors.

What does Vibration property mean? My understanding is a blade with more vibration is better because it gives more feedback to your hand. But why does the chart show that faster/stiffer blades such as SZLC have more vibration property than flexier blades such as Innerforce ALC?

I just received a batch of rubbers from Duke. What do you use to cut the rubbers? They are cut very evenly.

Which rubbers have you found to have a high tangential COR? I have found a new H3 sheet to have almost no bounciness. I thought maybe the tangential COR shows up in heavy topspin loops, but the ball seems to stick to the rubber and really doesn't project far even on topspin loops. The low...

Which rubbers have you tested with this? what were your results?

If you bounce a ball on a rubber, you can directly see how far the ball bounces off the rubber, and this gives you a sense of speed. But i think the grippiness also contributes to speed on topspin loops. I have found some rubbers to be quite slow on a regular bounce, and yet incredibly fast in...

Maybe because its still new and they havent updated the website yet. Or maybe because its only officially released in China yet, so its not on the international websites. But you can buy it from Aliexpress for$50, seems like a very good bargain...

Can you imagine if FZD wins 2024 Olympics, and Butterfly makes FZD ALC 2024 Gold edition blade.

There are a lot. Some popular ones are the Yinhe V-14 Pro and the Pro-01 ALC. Sanwei 75 ALC and F3 Pro.
